The 29th Day of Thanks

Thank you God.

On the 28th Day of Thanksgiving

I am thankful for appliances that make chores faster and easier, like the dishwasher, washer and dryer.

30 Days of Thanks: Day 27

I am thankful for a comfy couch. One that is big enough and comfy enough to sleep on when, for various reasons, sleeping in my bed is not working. *yawn*

Thankful version 26

Well, the 30 days of thankfulness are winding down. Some days have been harder than others to feel thankful. But each and everyday there is something (lots of somethings!) to be thankful for. (I realize that was a grammatically incorrect sentence as I ended in a preposition, but alas, I did not change it. Sorry Ma.)

I am thankful for Christmas and all that it means. As a Christian is it a time to celebrate the savior's birth. It is a time for togetherness and celebration with friends and family. The thankfulness of Thanksgiving carrying over into the spirit of Christmas. It is a wonderful time of year.

Thankful 25

I am thankful for my daughter getting to spend time with her cousins and the smiles that resulted. I hope they have as many wonderful childhood memories with each other as I have with my cousins.

And on a different note- I finishing "Mockingjay." I am both satisfied and dissatisfied with the ending to the story. Now back to the stack of 8 books I put on hold when the Hunger Games took over my reading!

Thankful Day 24

I am thankful that tonight is date night. They are few and far between and I am looking forward to it. A grown up movie actually AT the theater?!

ADHD

Just finished an excellent book on ADHD. "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (in Adults and Children): The Latest Assessment and Treatment Strategies" by C. Keith Conners and Juliet L. Jett.

It's clinical, but lots of good definitions and research. And while it claims to be the "latest" it is from 1999 and I imagine there is a boatload of newer information. However I did find it useful.

Friday Fill-In is back!

Hilary at Feeling Beachie back with her Friday blog hop! 

This week’s statements:
1. I put ___ on a hot dog
2. when it___ I ____
3. If my house____then I would be able to___
4. If I was getting married tomorrow I would _______________ differently so we could ________________differently now.

My answers:

1. I put nothing on a hot dog (or in my case, veggie dog).

2. When it rains I want to curl up and read.

3. If my house was clean then I would be able to start decorating for Christmas.

4. If I was getting married tomorrow I would not change a thing. I was pretty please with my wedding.

And since this is my second post for today, I'll include my latest book completion here even though it has nothing to do with the blog hop. I devoured "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins (the second book in "The Hunger Games" trilogy). I've heard a couple people say this was their favorite (and I've heard the last one that I am currently reading is the least favorite, BUT I will read it for myself and then be the judge!). So far I think I liked the first one slightly better, but I could not tell you why. I did thoroughly enjoy book #2 and immediately purchased book #3. More on that in a couple days when I've finished it!

Thankful Day 23

I am thankful for the rain today. I admit I wish I could stay in bed and read instead of going to work. Rainy days do that to me. But I am thankful for the rain in spite of having to go to work. The rain washes away all the yuck and replenishes and revives the greenness all around.
